076 ON SHOW
Designed by Bernhardt & Vella, the initial idea behind Amulette began
two years ago when the design duo began working on decorative
lighting concepts using LED technology. With a great tradition of
working with glass and an expertise in LED lighting, Bernhardt & Vella
approached Fabbian with their ideas.
“We wanted to design a simple and versatile object, almost like
a jewel,” the design duo tells darc. “Like a lucky stone, the glass
reflects the light and is embedded in the metal frame. We worked
with Fabbian on Amulette for around one year, with most of the
time spent on engineering as we had to find a way to conceal the
technological parts but produce something that still resulted in
quality light.”
The glass used for Amulette reflects the light and diffuses it
throughout the room while encased in metal like a precious stone –
almost like a lucky charm. Its perfectly sharp geometry, combinedwith its compact size, underlines the exquisite finish of the engraved
surfaces and the expressive power of metal. The shade is presented
in extra-clear corrugated glass with frosted edges and is combined
with a golden and black galvanic plating, satin-finish metal structure.
“It’s a very versatile product,” the designers continue. “It’s suitable
for both private and public spaces as its size allows you to create
various compositions – there is also a wall-mounted version. What
makes it unique is its very essential design... it’s not a simple lamp,
but a luminous jewel with a timeless secret that explores ancestral
and unexplored worlds that excite, illuminated by a magic born of its
light. We hope Amulette will bring lots of luck to those that work with
it.”
